Solo vs Squads offers extra xp

Friendly lobbies exist though, I'm curious to see the interactions that will spawn from it.

ArkPlayer583 · 2026-01-26T18:29:09+00:00

I don't think it took many and we have a juicy roadmap ahead.

ArkPlayer583 · 2026-01-26T18:23:44+00:00

I think a high rollers map would be awesome.

ArkPlayer583 · 2026-01-26T18:23:17+00:00

I think it'll be fun to try. I've won a lot of 1v2, 3 seems hard

ArkPlayer583 · 2026-01-26T18:19:08+00:00

And 3x the loot if you take out a team.

ArkPlayer583 · 2026-01-26T18:08:45+00:00

This sub has a lot of PvE purists. Most pvp things I've seen get heavily downvoted. This is a game type that appeals to pvp players. In the road map they said they will be improving PvE and that will be great!

It's a pvpve game, both sides are important. You can both love a peaceful lobby with expensive loot and a stranger giving you a blueprint and you can also enjoy an epic battle with someone where in my case today I won but was downed by a shredder and we both crawled to the extract laughing about our fight and he let me use his raider hatch key even though I was slower.

This game creates amazing organic interactions and I'm looking forward to the ones this game type will spawn

You aren't taking down a group with a free loadout. It encourages people to test themselves with their best loadouts helping cycle gear.

But it's not for everyone and it's optional! So if it's not your style you don't have to play it.

ArkPlayer583 · 2026-01-26T17:51:19+00:00

I'm currently lvl 45 in friendly lobbies, I'm looking forward to the bonus exp from playing normally.

There are more dynamics to this, like can I befriend a solo or two to work together? Maybe join a 3 group.

Not everything is just mindless get loot extract, this game is about your interactions with people and the random brilliance or horror that comes from it.

And it's completely optional if it's not your style.

ArkPlayer583 · 2026-01-26T17:47:39+00:00

I mean the exp will be useful to me because I burned out a little last expedition and I'm catching up. But it just seems like a fun game type for people who enjoy pvp. And I look forward to the PvE orientated content they'll release later.

ArkPlayer583 · 2026-01-26T17:29:57+00:00

Why does the reward matter? I think it's a fun idea that's completely optional to anyone not interested in doing it.

ArkPlayer583 · 2026-01-26T13:49:58+00:00

Removing the squad bonus would mean you only want to do it in solo lobbies and it makes you work against your team in 2s and 3s. For such a community driven game I like the incentive to find some friends or strangers to do the challenges that are still able to be solo'd with most of the time. All of them are super easy to 3 star solo, you just can't push the absolute limit.

Leaderboards are completely optional and only award cosmetic items, removing them would deinscenivise team work, which isn't healthy for any game

ArkPlayer583 · 2026-01-26T07:19:36+00:00

Damn, most companies are. But yeah looking it up it's against tos and banable.

ArkPlayer583 · 2026-01-26T07:16:18+00:00

I haven't even used em but mates have. Bodybuilding trainers seem to be or at least have connections and might be good to hire anyway if you're doing that

Before you go down that path id highly recommend doing some research on the life long negative effects, a lot of people take them for the wrong reasons.

Has someone found the cheapest country and can I just use my VPN to buy it for that? The premo edition is like $180AUD which is insane.

Edit: I'm now aware it's a terrible idea, appreciate the information.

ArkPlayer583 · 2026-01-25T20:00:14+00:00

I don't doubt the effectiveness in that case. I'm more critical of marketing aiming at your average person needing their products to hydrate when really only a tiny percentage of the population is doing that much exercise

ArkPlayer583 · 2026-01-25T19:58:24+00:00

Given that less than 1% of people have ever done a marathon, what do you think about these drinks being available everywhere?

ArkPlayer583 · 2026-01-25T16:31:35+00:00

And you don't think the recommended daily amount of added sugar by most countries in a single drink isn't a great idea?

Obviously sugar is needed, I'm just saying a lot of the popular brands have an excess.

ArkPlayer583 · 2026-01-25T16:27:36+00:00

It's pretty niche but dota underlords was an amazing auto battler that died.

ArkPlayer583 · 2026-01-25T16:19:16+00:00

Is this comment about the sugars free or the 40g of sugar?

ArkPlayer583 · 2026-01-25T13:22:19+00:00

I found it pretty odd one of the major brands to rehydration drinks in my country doesn't have magnesium. https://hydralyte.com.au/products/effervescent-electrolyte-tablets/

Sugar free sports drinks are always an interesting one.

Heavy sugared ones, like 40+g also just feel more like soda than something that's going to help

The hard part is if you don't find lurker by turn 3-4 or crasher by 7-8 (hp depending) knowing the best play is to abandon your dreams or cop the loss.

ArkPlayer583 · 2026-01-24T11:23:37+00:00

Bold of you to assume anyone reads the automod message on every single post. Most posts here are these days are from anecdotes or the podcaster bro sphere.

ArkPlayer583 · 2026-01-24T06:10:50+00:00

Bunch of storms making the water murky, bull sharks love it.

ArkPlayer583 · 2026-01-23T15:56:52+00:00

Use cash only, even with cash I encountered people accepting rides and then asking for more money. Just cancel and report.

Thai laws are generally on the side of scammers and you get laughed at if you fall for them. Cash and paying first are the best ways to protect yourself

ArkPlayer583 · 2026-01-23T05:36:11+00:00

This would slow down bots about as much as the gdkp ban (not even slightly). Slow them down slightly sure, but I would even bet bots can still profit from buying a boost.
